C
Back through the years I go wondering once again
F
Back to the seasons of my youth
C
I re call a box of rags that someone gave us
F
And how my mamma put these rags to use


C
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
G
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
C F
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love
C G C
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of


C
As she sewed she told the stories from the bible she had read
G
About a coat of many colours Joseph wore and they she said
C F
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
C
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
G C
And mamma blessed it with a kiss


F C
My. coat of many colours that mamma made for me
F C G
Made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly
C F
Although we had no money. Oh I was rich as I could be
C G C
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
A7
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
D G
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
D A7 D
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
A7
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
D G
And I told them all the stories, mamma told me while she sewed
D
And how my coat of many colours
A7 D
Was worth more than all of their clothes


G D
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
G D A7
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
D G
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
D A7 D
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
